Philadelphia-Born, Kitchen-Obsessed

Restaurant Cleaning Systems was founded by Philadelphia restaurant veterans who understood one thing: a clean kitchen is a safe kitchen, and a safe kitchen keeps your doors open. Since 2009, we've been the go-to cleaning partner for restaurants, hotels, schools, and healthcare facilities across Western Pennsylvania.

Our IKECA-certified technicians train continuously on evolving NFPA 96 standards, ensuring every service we provide not only satisfies your health inspector but legitimately protects your employees and guests from fire risk.

We're local, we're licensed, and we're available around the clock β€” because grease doesn't take weekends off, and neither do we.

"The before and after photos they sent us were shocking β€” we had no idea how much grease had built up in the duct system. The team was professional, thorough, and finished before we opened."

Common Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

NFPA 96 requires cleaning frequency based on cooking volume: monthly for high-volume operations (charbroiling, wok cooking), quarterly for moderate-volume restaurants, and semi-annually or annually for low-volume or seasonal facilities. We'll assess your operation and recommend the right schedule on your first visit.
After every hood cleaning, we provide a dated service certificate documenting the scope of work, areas cleaned, technician certification number, and next recommended service date. This certificate satisfies requirements from your insurance carrier, health department, and fire marshal.
Absolutely. Most of our cleaning is done after closing hours β€” typically 10 PM to 6 AM β€” so we never disrupt your service. Emergency calls are answered 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, including holidays.
A standard single-hood system takes 2–4 hours. Larger systems with multiple hoods, extended duct runs, or rooftop fans may take 4–8 hours. We'll give you a time estimate before we start so you can plan your kitchen operations accordingly.
We serve all of greater Philadelphia including the city proper, the North Shore, South Side, Shadyside, Squirrel Hill, Oakland, as well as surrounding areas including Bethel Park, Mt. Lebanon, Ross Township, Penn Hills, Monroeville, and all of Allegheny County. We also serve portions of Westmoreland and Beaver counties β€” call to confirm availability in your area.
Call us immediately at (412) 217-2562. We prioritize inspection failures as emergency service. Our crew will arrive within 18 minutes, assess the violation, and work to bring your kitchen into compliance before your re-inspection. If the issue relates to a service we previously performed, we return at no charge.
